Day 263 – Psalm 66

“How awesome are Your works…” Psalm 66:3a

THE BASIC FOCUS OF THIS SONG

Every song has a basic focus. The focus of this psalm is to be found in the following text.

‘How awesome are Your works!
Through the greatness of Your power
Your enemies shall submit themselves to You.
All the earth shall worship You and sing praises to You.'”
Psalm 66:3-4
